Berkeley California Golf Courses

This course is an up and down rollercoaster. The course has many interesting challenges in a beautiful setting. Not a course for the longer hitter to gain a huge advantage as accuracy is more important. The first hole is a killer - 400 yeards up hill - take a bogey and feel grateful. The best hole is probably the 8th a long dogleg par 5 with challenging bunkers and a tough green. The back 9 plays shorter and easier (after the beer kicks in). You'll have fun out there.

Is this course ever DRY! A miserable experience and leave it to American Golf to make it one of the worst golf experiences ever! It was a sprinkle here and a sprinkle there when we left the 1st hole, but by the 11th whole it was getting dangerously worse. At the turn, the Snack Bar was closed and we were extremely hungry, so we ran to the car for some leftovers from our trip to McDonalds'! The recent rains have devastated the safety conditions of the entire course. We were slipping at every possible opportunity, and it's a golf course "looking" for a serious lawsuit. Taking a step in the 8" mud can be very dangerous, especially when you lift your foot out of the mud and your shoe becomes seperated from your foot and it remains stuck in the mud. Very sloshy conditions, and I would have to question why American Golf would allow golfers to go out and play in these conditions! (It's probably all about the $$$$$!). Did I mention that we were covered with MUD! This course is LAST on my list for coming back! I would only recommend this course to MY MOTHER-IN-LAW!!! If I could give 0 STARS, I would have!

Course Reviews

Eagle Lake Golf Club"Splendid"Absolutely the best public golf course within 100 miles of St. Louis. Seems like your playing well (Haven't lost a ball, no penalty stokes) then you add em up and you're half a dozen worse than usual. Great views, no waits.

Evergreen Golf Club - East & North Course"satisfaction" I found these courses to have a little of everything that any golfer likes in a course.
Scenery , water , challenge, nice setup.---Anonymous, rockford , illinois

EagleSticks Golf Club"Overrated!!!"September 2004..
Just an average course. Not taken care of like it was in the early 90's. Cartpaths nearly undriveable due to broken pavement and potholes. Several greens in poor condition. Sandtraps washedout. Overrated and Overpriced!!!!---Richard Cranium, Ohio

Knob Hill Golf Course"One of the better ones around"Nicely maintained, well conditioned course. A little short from the whites, and perhaps a little long from the championship tees for the average golfer. Water comes into play on many holes, as does out of bounds. Greens are medium sized and fairly flat, but several have devilish breaks. Holes seven and eight can make or break your round, and when playing into the wind, the eighteenth is as tough a finishing hole as there is in the area. There has been talk about going private for several years, but it appears as if it will happen sometime in 2004, so if you have the opportunity to play, do it soon!!---GolfWhack, Central New Jersey
